20090089420 | Flash tracking system and method - A system, method and computer readable medium configured to track Internet users as they browse web-sites when cookies are disabled or deleted. One aspect of the present invention includes the realization that cookies are not adequate to track Internet web users as cookies are limited and size, and easily deleted by users. A web-site receives a request for content from the computing-device. After obtaining information about the computing-device, the tracking-server assesses the request for content from the computing-device. If the computing-device has an available flash plug-in, the tracking-server transmits a flash applet to the computing-device. The flash applet is configured to: determine whether a unique flash identifier has been assigned to the computing-device, generate the unique flash identifier if no unique flash identifier has already been assigned to the computing-device, transmit the unique flash identifier to a tracking server, and store the unique flash identifier in local flash storage. The process also stores a cookie at the computing-device when no flash plug-in is available. | 04-02-2009 |

20100161646 | CRITERIA BUILDER FOR QUERY BUILDER - Systems and methods are provided that programmatically provide a user interface for forming a query, comprising. A query builder displays a first row of query criteria, a second row of query criteria, the second row being logically connected to the first row by a first Boolean connector, and a third row of query criteria, the third row being logically connected to the second row by a second Boolean connector. In response to a user drag-and-drop operation, the query builder nests the third row of query criteria in the second row of query criteria. Thus, a drag-and-drop operation obviates the need for cumbersome groups of parentheses when defining the order of operation of the query. | 06-24-2010 |

20100312705 | APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A DEPOSIT PROCESS MANAGER DECISIONING ENGINE - The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods, and systems for a deposit process manager (“DP-Manager”) including aspects of a decisioning engine, aspects of a deposit delay component, and of a de-queueing component. The DPManager is supported by the first workflow process engine in the financial industry to provide end-to-end solutions for complex brokerage and retirement deposits and check clearing. The DPManager can automatically route checks to be cleared electronically at numerous banks/clearing entities based on routing number, time of day, bank fees and float expense. The DPManager can capture data electronically without manual intervention with deposit slips. In one embodiment, the new deposit validation process begins with a scanner installed in every branch. Once a check is scanned, the Deposit Process Management system takes over intelligent processing through several sub-systems. These subsystems include systematic edits including account, product and risk management checking numerous databases to completely automate the deposit validation process. One inventive aspect of the DPManager determines deposit delays based on the characteristics of the check deposited, the writer of the check, the deposit profile of the client, and/or other information. In one embodiment, the delay component employs a matrix that combines check data with industry data and client behavior to determine client funds availability. This delay smoothes the deposit process, allows for greater verification, reduction of errors, and minimization of fraudulent transactions. Another embodiment of the DPManager provides a de-queue facility that enhances error detection, correction and fraud detection when processing deposits In another embodiment, the DPManager has a decisioning engine that employs an ABA/Clearing Entities matrix for optimizing selections of clearing entities for deposits. | 12-09-2010 |
